As Covid 19 continues, many people are working from home or self-isolating. This means that jobs around the house may not get completed due to time limitations. On the other side people are being made redundant or furloughed as companies grapple with their market situation. Seniors or old aged pensioners (OAPs) have a wealth of talent and expertise and due to poor UK pensions they often need to supplement their income. It a win-win for the OAP and the person offering the job, may it be gardening, helping at home with cleaning or ironing or giving a child some tutoring or support. Rentanoap matches active OAPs skills with your demands and needs. Whether you are an OAP or someone offering some small jobs, please register at www.rentanoap.co.uk or download the app in the app store.
The UK government announced earlier in the week (September 2021), changes in the National Insurance contributions starting in April 22. More information can be found on the following BBC website https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-58436009 What do you think about the new measures? Do you think it is necessary or just another tax? Depending on whether you are employed or self-employed will depend on how this will effect you, going forward.
So how much should I charge for my services? The answer is simple, there is no fixed sum that covers all tasks, it will depend on your experience and expertise. It is also part of the negotiation with the person offering the job. What I can say is that there is a national living wage in the UK at the time of writing (February 2021) this being £8.72 per hour for people over 25 years. More information can be found on the UK government website https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates If you are aged over 50 and are looking for a local job within your local community, why not register at www.rentanoap.co.uk If you are offering a job, you should always discuss your budget and timeframe with the OAP and when rates and a timescale is agreed, get something in writing and get both parties to sign an agreement.
